Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does Nanbeige4.1 3B Q8 0 GGUF need?
Nanbeige4.1 3B Q8 0 GGUF requires 3.3 GB of VRAM at Q8_0.
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 3B × 8 bits ÷ 8 = 3 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 0.3 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
VRAM usage by quantization
Q8_03.3 GB- Can I run Nanbeige4.1 3B Q8 0 GGUF on a Mac?
Nanbeige4.1 3B Q8 0 GGUF requires at least 3.3 GB at Q8_0, which exceeds the unified memory of most consumer Macs. You would need a Mac Studio or Mac Pro with a high-memory configuration.
- Can I run Nanbeige4.1 3B Q8 0 GGUF locally?
Yes — Nanbeige4.1 3B Q8 0 GGUF can run locally on consumer hardware. At Q8_0 quantization it needs 3.3 GB of VRAM. Popular tools include Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp.
- How fast is Nanbeige4.1 3B Q8 0 GGUF?
At Q8_0, Nanbeige4.1 3B Q8 0 GGUF can reach ~883 tok/s on AMD Instinct MI300X. On NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: ~199 tok/s. Speed depends mainly on GPU memory bandwidth. Real-world results typically within ±20%.
tok/s = (bandwidth GB/s ÷ model GB) × efficiency
Example: AMD Instinct MI300X → 5300 ÷ 3.3 × 0.55 = ~883 tok/s
Estimated speed at Q8_0 (3.3 GB)
AMD Instinct MI300X~883 tok/sNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090~199 tok/sNVIDIA H100 SXM~660 tok/sAMD Instinct MI250X~546 tok/sReal-world results typically within ±20%. Speed depends on batch size, quantization kernel, and software stack.
